In this episode, you hear from someone whose career has focused on better understanding gambling problems. Dr. Marc Potenza is a psychiatrist and professor at Yale University and Director of the Centre of Excellence in Gambling Research.

Since he's very familiar with the research on gambling addiction, I asked him questions that I commonly hear in the counselling room and from listeners.

Listen in and hear about:

  • Why is it that some people become compulsive gamblers and others don't?
  • What's happening in the brain when gambling gets out of control?
  • Are there medications that can help with cravings?
  • Does treatment work?

We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, so if you would like to read a summary, visit the blog at www.problemgamblinghelp.ca.
